Can you imagine your car being completely compatible with your mobile provider to deliver you updates regarding the charging of your electric car right to your mobile device. This week, AT&T and Ford announced that they have put together a deal that will allow for wireless connectivity to be built directly into to the Focus Electric model that Ford is releasing.

The deal will allow Ford to connect to AT&T for their MyFord Mobile app. This app will be able to let you know where your car is at, and exactly how much it has charged thus far. It will also give you a good idea regarding how much battery life you have left when you are not around your car.

The app also helps you to schedule charging, setup notifications, and even has compatibility with other apps including MapQuest. All of the data is shared from the car to the smart device through the connection that is provided with AT&T.

So far the app will work with Android, BlackBerry and iOS device such as iphone 4 unlocked. The company has not made any announcements about extending the compatibility to other platforms, but even if the pap does not work with your smart device, you can still use the web interface that is provided by Ford.

A press release was released by both companies that explains in great detail exactly how this will work and what users can expect to get out of the new deal between Ford and AT&T. This could just be the first step in a larger process of connecting your car to your mobile carrier and device that could simplify many aspects of your life in the future. MyFord Mobile is available on the Ford website. It will be interesting to see where things head from here.

The BlackBerry Monaco, also known as the Storm 3 has been widely reported on, and Research In Motion has not yet confirmed its existence at this time. The phone is set to launch in September for Verizon Wireless, according to a number of different reports, and will be the third version of the Unlocked Blackberry Storm series.

The device looks very similar to previous versions of the phone. It will still have the trackpad that was seen on the earlier versions, and will have a touchscreen display, along with a beautiful looking screen. RIM is continuing their efforts to bring the BlackBerry platform back to touchscreen phones. They have had a number of previous touchscreen launches but have never really been able to deliver in the same way that other smart devices have.

The BlackBerry OS is traditionally meant for QWERTY keyboard devices. Transferring users over to a touchscreen device may take a little bit of getting used to. With the upcoming PlayBook just on the horizon, it is clear that the company would like to move a larger portion of their business to touchscreen phones so that they can easily attempt to capture the non-business market.

Specs for the device have not yet been made available, but it is believed to feature a 1.2 GHz processor, and have NFC compatibility which will make it one of the most high powered phone releases to date from Research In Motion. The video that appeared online today pretty much confirms the existence of the phone that has been rumored for quite some time. It will be interesting to see if this forces Research In Motion to acknowledge the phone and release additional information about the specs.
